<\/a>From Eric Dondero:<\/p>

Marc Delphine, Libertarian Party candidate for US Senate appears to be off to a good start. He's already polling 5% in one of the first polls on the race. He's challenging incumbent Democrat Sen. Ron Wyden. (A Republican is also in the race, but not making many waves.)<\/p>

Now, his burgeoning campaign appears to have hit a speed bump. From Yahoo Sports News<\/a>:<\/p>

<\/a><\/p>

Marc Delphine was fond of the logo a volunteer had designed for his campaign for a U.S. Senate seat in Oregon: a silver star wrapped in a star-spangled banner that his designer told him evoked the letter 'D' for branding purposes. <\/p>

It certainly was a memorable symbol. In fact, it was already being used by the NHL's Columbus Blue Jackets, as Delphine was stunned to discover on Wednesday. <\/p>

\"They were all like, 'What are you doing with their logo?' and I was like, 'I didn't make the logo!' and we pulled it immediately,\" said Delphine, a Libertarian candidate making history as the first openly homosexual man to run for the U.S. Senate in Oregon. \"I'm not interested in any kind of infringement. We don't even need a logo.\"<\/p><\/blockquote>

Of course, being the property rights advocate that he is, upon discovery, he immediately pulled the logo. <\/p>

Delphin went on to joke good naturdly that while he's a \"huge sports fan,\" he's not very fond of hockey.<\/p>

Sidenote; Delphine is one of six Oregon Libertarian Party members who serve in public office. He is a recently elected member of the Mountain View School Committee. And he is \"Republican-friendly,\" having initially planned to seek the GOP nomination, as well.<\/p>
